A simple closed contour object identification scheme has been applied to the zonal mean
monthly mean zonal wind fields from nine global reanalysis data sets for 31 years of the …

In this paper, we propose a new method based on the detection of jet cores with the aim to
describe the climatological features of the jet streams and to estimate their trends in latitude …

We introduce a novel algorithm for the efficient detection and tracking of features in
spatiotemporal atmospheric data, as well as for the precise localization of the occurring …

The underlying dynamics controlling jet streams are complex, but it is expected that they will
have an observable response to changes in the larger climatic system. A growing …

A novel climatology is developed for upper‐tropospheric jet streams, which is
complementary to and an alternative for the traditional depictions of the time‐mean jets. It …

A satellite image‐processing technique has been developed for the identification and
tracking of upper‐tropospheric features related to midlatitude synoptic‐scale cyclogenesis …

The polar and subtropical jet streams are strong upper-level winds with a crucial influence
on weather throughout the Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes. In particular, the polar jet is …

Jet streams, the meandering bands of fast winds located near the tropopause, are driving
factors for weather in the midlatitudes. This is the first study to analyze historical trends of jet …

Primary goal of presented study is to classify the most frequent patterns of the upper
tropospheric jet stream over Europe. Wind fields were grouped into separated classes with …

The surface of maximum wind (SMW) is introduced as an analysis frame for climate studies
of fast upper tropospheric winds. As defined here, the vertical domain for the SMW includes …
